As a med student, what can I do now to prepare my hand-eye coordination for doing surgery one day? I.e. how can I practice surgery skills outside the operaring theatre? Also, can anyone recommend any good neurosurgery books that can help me start to learn neurosurgery theory?
Get a suture set and practice on it. You may also use a banana peel or animal flesh/skin for practice. Plenty of good YouTube videos can provide you the guidelines. Also, if you are right-handed, work on strengthening your left hand and vice versa.
